Still glad I got a few of [WayBack] GL-AR300M – GL.iNet: it makes travel life so much easier when you cannot use tethering.
I got the model GL-AR300M with external antennas (the GL-AR300M only has internal ones with a much shorter range).
Powered over USB, it runs OpenWRT and can NAT a local network towards an external network on the WAN, WiFi or (via USB) 3G/4G modem.
Despite doing only 2.4Ghz, it was a life saver in many occasions (there is a 5Ghz model, but it has over heating issues).

Thomas Rini (of U-Boot and Yocto fame) mentioned these solutions for remote power control of IoT devices and remote updating SD cards in this slide State of the U-Boot – Thomas Rini, Konsulko Group:
Two power solutions I like myself are:
The combination of these allows for really flexible production and testing environments.

[WayBack] RB450G and “..could not get answer from dns server” – MikroTik: I do not see a default route. It would be the route with “dst-address=0.0.0.0/0“.

I totally forgot it was possible to usie an old Fritz!Box to act as a DECT repeater:
Um die Abdeckung von DECT für mobile Festnetztelefone zu verbessern, lässt sich eine ältere Fritzbox verwenden.

Reminder to self: [WayBack] Tomato by shibby – upgrade procedure and cfg backup | LinksysInfo.org:
I keep a text file with the changes I’ve made after a fresh install and I keep the file updated as I make changes.
Re-configuring the router after that takes a bit of time, but it is not that bad. Toastman’s method (here) noted above as well as the methods described here and here can also be used, but I haven’t tried them.
which references:
nvram export –set >config.txt
This outputs the complete setup in useable text form, each line beginning with “nvram set”. This means it’s ready to input to the router without having to add the “nvram set” to every line. You could do this by ssh or telnet.
NOTE – you can only restore the whole config file to the original router. To configure a different router you need to cherry pick the important lines (see below)
e.g.
nvram set clkfreq=480,240,120
nvram set wl0_country=AU
nvram set wan_domain=freewifi
nvram commit
